Raphinha is increasingly unlikely to face Getafe as Hansi Flick avoids injury risks, opening the door for Gabriel Jesus while De Jong and Garcia return.
FC Barcelona forward Raphinha is reportedly set to miss Saturday's La Liga match against Getafe as manager Hansi Flick chooses not to risk the Brazilian's fitness. Raphinha picked up a minor muscle injury while on international duty with Brazil and has been training individually with medical staff. Flick is prioritizing caution ahead of upcoming fixtures, including El Clásico and Champions League games.
